You know, over the past couple of years I’ve compared Saturn’s moon Mimas to the Death Star, an egg, Pac Man, and even now Rick Astley. But while I was prepping the image for that last one yesterday, it suddenly hit me that yet another comparison was in order.

I’ll just leave it here without comment…

… except to say that finding an image of Kenny from the side was almost impossible. At least one where he was still alive.

@ #8. Other Paul: Ha! I was going to leave it be but heck, you said it. 😉 Priors all around!
(Actually I had first said it back on February 1 in regards to a similar side-view of Mimas: http://wp.me/pru7J-Jt )

When South Park finally comes to an end, I think the perfect way to close the series is to destroy the town of South Park completely and kill everyone in town… except for Kenny. Kenny climbs out of the wreckage, the soul survivor. Yeah… that would be cool.

This is pretty funny! I literally did think the image looked like Kenny as I was writing the older post, and never saw the other people claiming it looked like him. Clearly the resemblance is strong enough that a lot of folks thought of it independently.

@Other Paul, And then they fade to 20 years later, with a “Wonder Years/Stand By Me” narration from an adult, millionaire Best selling author Kenny says “I still think of my friends and our crazy days in South Park: Stan, Kyle… even Eric. And while I miss those guys, that town was just nuts.”

@IMForeman: Now if I say it finishes with Kenny in an old folks home, aged 130, a la D Hoffman in Little Big Man, that’ll be the end of it, right? Or do we go all Babylon 5 with Kenny reconstructed in ‘live’ histories of past millennia? Gaah!

It ends with Kenny, having lived for trillions of years, gathers energy into a vast starship he’s built over history and says “Let there be light” and he reignites a new universe… and maybe becomes Galactus in the next one.

If you draw a perfect circle on Mimas, you can see that the impact left a very thick layer of material around the crater, to a distance of about 60 degrees of circumference. Even the abyss of the crater may not be below the original surface.
